Wednesday's Featured Layouts 11/19/08

Wow, I can't believe its already half way through November!!! Time seems to be flying by this year. I just celebrated my baby girls 3rd birthday on Monday.. and each day I look at her and can't believe she's already 3!! Its just crazy! She was just my little itty bitty baby yesterday, or so it seems.

So I was going through Mr linky today trying to catch up on all the layouts posted since Friday... (Wow, lots of participation.. totally GREAT!!!) and was blown away by this layout from Lori. With just having had a Pretty Princess party here, with my baby girl all done up in her princess dress and Magic (her crown and wand.. she calls them her "magic" and walks around the house going "Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle" as she casts her spells of happiness).. This layout just hit to the heart of me and my life right now...

This Picture of Molly is just GORGEOUS!!! It speaks of childhood happiness, dreams, fantasy and everything pretty.. I can so see her doing twirly spins in her fairy dress, with her hands up high and a smile on her face!! And you know, it makes me want to be 3 again and put on my princess dress and run around throwing sparkles at everyone with my little girl. I might just have to do it anyway! I qualify, don't you think? Cause I'm 33 and that's twice the amounts of 3 right? LOL

I love how Lori used her matts in this layout, layering them one on top of each other at different angles... and the bottom matt shape.. wow! Just perfect!! Everyone, please show her some love for this absolutely GORGEOUS layout!

Sticking with a Childhood theme, I found this Layout in the Gallery at DST. Ok, so it wasn't my plan to stick with a childhood theme... it just sort of worked out that way. LOL I fell in love with the simplicity of this next layout immediatly.

Children...
By Fanette

I love how the photo here is sliced up into three parts, and how one strip of paper is slid in over the middle section of the photo. Just simply lovely! The elements she used are just perfect too compliment the photo... which by the way is just breathtaking and makes me feel at peace when I look at it! I love photos of children from behind.. there is just something magical and emotional about them. Captures them being children. I absolutely love the quote on here too... so very true, it is.

Please everyone, stop by Fanette's page and leave her some love for this gorgeous layout.

So, I couldn't decide between the last layout and the next, so decided to go ahead and feature both of them today! I'm a sucker for multible pictures on a layout... so when I saw this one I was excited!
